Question

Explain the difference in meaning between |-3| and -3.

Answer 1

plz help me

Answer 2

I think when you have a number like |-3| it is always positive

Answer 3

and -3 i believe is just -3

Answer 4

There isn't much difference between the two. |3| means the absolute value which will ALWAYS be a positive number. 3 is the exact same thing. It's just plain old 3.

Answer 5

Anything inside "||" will be positive no matter what the value is. It's like the symbols get rid of the negative sign.
